Official description

Bring the sounds of Hyrule into your hands with the Electric OCARINA OF TIME.

Designed for use with the sound recognition feature in The Legend of Zelda™: Ocarina of Time for Nintendo Switch™ 2, the Electric OCARINA OF TIME lets you interact with the game through music. When you play a song, the Nintendo Switch™ 2 system picks up the sound and triggers the corresponding in-game action.

Choose between two distinct play modes. Free Play Mode, to play notes and melodies freely, and Auto-Play Mode, which can play 12 in-game songs with the simple press of a button.

A built-in Volume Control Dial allows you to adjust the sound to your preferred level, while the headphone jack lets you connect headphones or an external speaker for a more immersive experience.

I’ve singed up for alerts on here and haven’t had a single one. Didn’t know about get until just now. It’s boiling my piss. Why is it up randomly in these retailers before Nintendo puts up a preorder!?

I’ve not had any notifications too, which is annoying, I’ve been checking every couple hours in work everday for last few weeks and missed both times it’s been in stock somehow.

Literally exactly the same with me. Been checking nintendos site and Hori and Smyths to see if it restocks or goes live since the Switch preorders went live. Put off biking it from American and Asian sites too.

This guy out here buying more than one whilst others can’t get one at all. There should be a limit of one per customer on these.

Do what? How is two excessive? Give your head a wobble geezer!

Anyway, half of the people in here seem to pipe up about not wanting to open an account with Very so their loss is my gain.

Two is fine if you’re intending on keeping one to collect and wine to use or if you’re getting one for your mate etc. if you’re buying two cos they’re in demand and you figure you can make a bit of money on it then you’re scalping and everyone here hopes you get stuck with a second in you don’t need and that Nintendo and a bunch of other sites launch preorders before someone is desperate enough to buy it off you.

Well I just sold the LEGO Astro Bot which I got free with my LEGO PlayStation for 60 quid when I saw how much they’re going for on eBay and FB. Does that mean I’m guilty of reselling, sorry I’m British so I can’t be using that grating American slang term, even though I deemed it just a cool freebie originally? I thought it would make a nice wee ornament on the shelf till I saw what people are weighing on for it and realised it made far more sense getting rid and making my PlayStation nigh on half price… Read more »

Just be quiet Charlie.

Where did I mention the word ‘excessive’? My comment was directed more to the retailers not limiting this to one per customer as it’s clearly limited enough.

“This guy out here buying more than one” is not aimed at me, really? OK, whatever you say geezer.

You’re so sensitive Charlie… you’re going online and saying you’ve bought more than one – it will inevitably rub ppl up the wrong way (especially on limited items). Even if you’re not a scalper, don’t say you’re buying more than one and then throw your toys out your pram when someone calls you out on it.

I see your name all the time on this site arguing with ppl.

I’m not the only Charlie on here but granted I probably post more than the other/others does/do.

If people are going to dish it then I’ve got every right to give it some back, if that makes me sensitive so be it.

As I said in my reply to Simon, nobody got all stroppy about us buying a couple of GTA VI Collector’s Boxes did they?

Quite the opposite actually, but mention buying two Ocarinas and I’ve committed graver crimes against humanity than what Radovan Karadžić did.

Because the GTA VI CE is pants. If you like merch with no game go you and your wife. Anything Zelda is always sought after and scalpers are taking the absolute mick at the moment with buying up all the stock within seconds making it extremely difficult for genuine collectors to obtain anything. You appear on most posts and I’d go so far as to say you’re rage baiting people with your comments. They don’t seem genuine and it’s obvious you’re looking for an argument. Thank a person for a heads up on the availability of an item, but don’t… Read more »

You’ll no doubt use this to vindicate your suggestion of me ‘rage baiting’ but why you’d choose to use the nickname of the most high profile womble ever as your handle on here is beyond me? Though I do remember him being rather pally with Danny Dyer on a documentary a few years ago. And seeing you’re coming out with patter like you’re in a Nick Love film I suppose there is a miniscule chance that you are actually him. Blimey what an eye opener that would be, to discover he’s got in to nerdy collecting since having to plot… Read more »

My ‘Mad Dog’ handle is from the Like a Dragon/Yakuza gaming franchise. The Mad Dog of Shimano. Majima Goro.
Considering we’re on a website that caters to gamers, movie fans, etc, I picked a name from one of my favourite gaming franchises.

I’m also not a ‘him’.

You shouldn’t assume. It makes you look stupid.

I’ve said what I’ve needed to say. I’m not engaging with you any further after this.

As I’ve said you’re looking for an argument.

“I’m also not a ‘him’.

I’m clearly talking about Adair and though what sort of person he is is of course rather questionable, one thing that’s not up for a debate is his gender.

He is very a him so please stop acting the dinlow and making out you didn’t know who I was referring to.

Manufacturing some non existent gender insinuation definitely makes it look like you’re the one angling for an argument so calm yourself Beryl.

£45 is a bit more than i’d be happy to pay, but it has more features than expected. I wonder what the manual one costs (the non electronic proper wind instrument)
